Maya Plisetskaya, who died this afternoon at his home in Munich of a heart attack at age 89, was not only “the Swan”, the “better” than “slid” across a stage, but a “woman who never broke the law because he knew her “, said Efe his agent and friend for 50 years, Ricardo Cue.
Cue has received at six-thirty this afternoon called Plisetskaya’s husband, the composer and pianist Rodion Konstantinovich Shchedrin (Moscow, 1932), which has given the news around the death happen.
“It was first called the director of the Bolshoi and then me. We were like family. We wanted very much because since I saw her in the mid-60 in New York, with those eyes and that way slide, I’ve traveled with it around the world and now, every year, we made a trip together for Spain, his country also, whom he adored, “he told EFE Cue excited.
Each year, he said, made a trip by different Spanish provinces this summer and had planned to make one on La Rioja.
Plisetskaya traveled in 1983 with the Bolshoi for the first time to Spain, where he offered some of the best pieces of their repertoire; He directed what later became National Dance Company (CND) of 1987-1990, and ten years later, in November 1993, won the Spanish nationality by naturalization.
Shchedrin, who had no children with the dancer, who was born in Moscow and was “prima ballerina assoluta” the Bolshoi Ballet, has not decided yet what to do with his remains, “but on the horizon is Moscow” , said Cue.
His strong character, an unusual energy and the rejection of academicism conventions in ballet have made it a myth of the scene. This “prima donna” Ballet has participated in the development and the most important changes choreographic and interpretive dance.
The artist was “delighted” with the tribute that he would do the next day 15 in Lucerne (Switzerland) in anticipation of his 90th birthday, who would have turned 20 in November.
In the tribute would participate dancers from different companies and, “of course”, the Bolshoi, “very shocked by the news,” said Cue, who comforts her friend has had “the best death , which is to be free. ”
“It was my sister’s soul. It was the most grateful, the most tender, the most of all. We wanted as if we were family and I will miss you very much. I called on Wednesday and not today I took it and she thought he was returning my call, “he recalled tearfully.
Plisetskaya, who last appeared when he was 82, did not miss “for nothing” dance, “” The history of who I was and what had already written ‘, used to tell me ” he noted Cue.
“It was great, unique. It was the most original, has broken all the molds while remaining ever respectful of the canons of classical dance. If I had to describe it would be like a female law , he did not know why the law could not break, art and everything. She was, is and remains the queen stage “
The dancer, who during the communist era always maintained a marked creative independence and then defended “to the death” to Boris Yeltsin, never was the Russian Communist Party.
“She alone became an army. It was a big woman, not only for dance but for history,” added Cue.
